Coming up against a Hamburg side winless in their last five, Nullfünfer got off to a lightning start, grabbing a goal in opening two minutes: Giulio Donati the provider and Alexandru Maxim with the finish.

The Mainz joy lasted all of seven minutes though when Walace scored from close range. Hamburg would pull a goal back in stoppage time through Sejad Salihovic but it was Mainz who collected all three points.

Domenico Tedesco made multiple changes to his side with great success as Schalke took the three points in Berlin.

In that game, the young coach utilised in a formation which worked well for Schalke. Alessandro Schöpf is thought to have made a long-awaited return from injury but it is likely that he will remain on the bench until he reaches full fitness.

Sandro Schwarz gambled by starting Alexandru Maxim but he was rewarded when the Romanian scored last time out.

Yoshinori Muto was a substitute against Hamburg but he will return into the starting lineup in place of Robin Quaison.

Expect Mainz to lineup in a although this could easily become a with Jean-Philippe Gbamin dropping into defence. Two attacking wing backs are set to face-off in Gelsenkirchen in the match between Schalke and Mainz.

Bastian Oczipka was brought in by as the replacement for Sead Kolasinac and, so far, the year-old has acquitted himself well in Schalke colours. In seven appearances, he has produced one assist for the Royal Blues.
